Wu Sangui was dead. He inserted a feather arrow into his heart and avoided the misfortune of being cut into pieces by thousands of knives. This result made Zhu Jun sigh. The trial of Wu Sangui was a good show he had arranged in advance. He wanted everyone to see the consequences of this big traitor, and to have a certain publicity effect. However, death is like a lamp extinguished. Since this is the case, Zhu Jun could only make a fuss on his body. He specially issued a decree to the Ministry of Works, ordering them to build a traitor tomb within a month. At the front of the tomb, the bronze statue of Wu Sangui kneeling on the ground must be eye-catching, so that he would also be scolded by thousands of people after his death.

Two days later, Mu Tianbo arrived at the military camp in Dingbei Province. When he learned that he was about to return to Yunnan, Mu Tianbo's face was swollen and blood-red, and his legs were trembling with excitement. Almost all of them were helped to enter the central army camp.

"Long live my emperor." After Mu Tianbo knelt three times and nine times, he was helped to sit on the stool beside him, and then bowed to Zhu Jun, who was in charge of the top leader: "Is it because of the emperor summoning me to march to Yunnan?"

Zhu Jun nodded and said, "That's right, I want to let Aiqing Mu take charge this time, and I will entrust my uncle to restore Yunnan to you."

Mu Tianbo couldn't help but be stunned and said, "I don't know the military affairs, what kind of virtue can I do? How can I take on such heavy responsibilities?"

Li Dingguo, who was sitting on the other side of the bench, looked at each other and said, "Mu Aiqing, don't be humble. Since I asked you to come, there is naturally my reason. After tomorrow, I will go back to Haidu. The military affairs ahead will be entrusted to Mu Aiqing. I hope you will live up to my expectations and will be a triumphant soon."

Since the emperor fled to Myanmar, he followed him with his relatives and generals, and had been away from Yunnan for three years. The Mu family has not left a step after guarding Yunnan for three hundred years. Whenever he thinks of this, he is sad and sad. Now the enemy has been destroyed. When he is about to enter his hometown, Mu Tianbo still feels a little dizzy. Mu Tianbo took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, and said, "I will definitely live up to the emperor's expectations."

Zhu Jun nodded and said, "Nanyang is located in the center of the ocean. If the Han people cannot account for the majority, there will be trouble sooner or later. Most Han people in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces are. After Mu Aiqing enters Guizhou, some of them can be migrated to Haidu."

Mu Tianbo pondered for a while: "This matter is easy to deal with. Our army has occupied Yunnan again, and Yunnan borders the Qing army. The Han people in the two provinces must be afraid that the Qing soldiers would come to take revenge. If the emperor could provide them with work and food, there would still be many people willing to go south."

Zhu Jun smiled slightly and said, "Okay. The three of us, the king and the minister, have finished the main business. Mu Aiqing, come and tell me and Li Aiqing what interesting things have happened recently?"

Zhu Jun said this. The originally serious atmosphere suddenly became relaxed. Mu Tianbo said: "Emperor, something big happened in Haidu City." He pursed his lips and continued: "Did the emperor ask a young man named Churchill to do things in the artillery workshop?"

Zhu Jun nodded. Churchill was the guy who studied yellow gunpowder. Zhu Jun opened a laboratory for him in the artillery workshop to allow him to study with peace of mind.

"On the second day after the emperor personally fought, an explosion occurred in the gunpowder workshop." Mu Tianbo's face showed an incredible expression when he said this: "The smoke in the entire scene was rolling, and the smoke from the outbreak rushed straight into the clouds and mist. The entire sea could be seen. Half of the artillery workshop covering hundreds of acres was blown up. Fortunately, it was night and no workers were working in the workshop. At that time, the various yamen were shocked and thought that someone had attacked the artillery workshop. So the yamen runners in the city and the Jinyiwei were dispatched together, but they did not find any name when they rushed to the scene."

"At this moment, a Franchise man named Churchill also rushed from the city to the point of the incident. He was stunned at first, but suddenly jumped up and cheered loudly, saying that the thunder and mercury had been refined. At that time, the Jinyiwei was very upset about the explosion, but saw the Franchise man cheering heartlessly and had no place to vent, so he rushed forward and locked him to the court for trial. The matter was passed to the palace newspaper. For a moment, the people were angry and said that they were not my race and their hearts must be different. The Franchise man gloated and wanted to execute him."

"Fortunately, the Francophone man revealed his identity, and the Western consultant Arms personally took care of him, so he temporarily arrested him and waited for the emperor's ruling."

Zhu Jun thought about it and knew what Churchill had developed. Although this was a disaster, perhaps it was this disaster that made Churchill realize it, but he didn't know the specific matters. He could only wait for Mu Tianbo to finish speaking calmly. It seemed that this incident had already shaken the entire Haidu. With the catalyst of Dibao, it would naturally be known to everyone. Fortunately, he would go back to Haidu tomorrow and investigate the causes and consequences.

After a while of greeting, Li Dingguo and Mu Tianbo stood up and said goodbye. Zhu Jun lay on the table and kept thinking about the question about yellow gunpowder. If Churchill could really extract thunder mercury to inspire yellow gunpowder to cause explosion, it would definitely be a revolution that had never been seen in the entire history of war. The original cavalry and infantry would be eliminated, and even steel crossbows would be completely replaced by muskets and artillery grounds. The ground shells fired by the artillery were no longer iron balls or nails, but explosives in the true sense. Muskets and artillery would also be gradually invented. Within twenty years, the combat power of the Ming army might reach the level of the first battle field.

Thinking of this, Zhu Jun couldn't help but be moved. Two thoughts immediately flashed in his mind. First, the technology of yellow gunpowder must be kept confidential, and all manufacturing processes will be carried out in a sealed environment, including Churchill, and he must be controlled and he is not allowed to contact the outside world. Then the valley becomes the first choice for a dedicated yellow gunpowder workshop. There, there is only one passage that can lead to the outside world. As long as the defense measures are strengthened, this place is even safer than a cage. Secondly, the related yellow gunpowder muskets and cannons must be established in a short time. Zhu Jun is not very worried about this. Now Haidu's forging technology has reached a peak, and many muskets are made very well. Even Haidu's craftsmen have invented some simple machine tools by themselves. As long as there is a goal, Zhu Jun believes that these smart craftsmen will be able to find a forging method in the short term.

In the morning of the next morning, three thousand guards and hundreds of carriages boarded the road and slowly headed towards the south. Zhu Jun sat in the carriage and felt a little home-oriented. There were still many things to be done when he arrived in Haidu, such as Huang Gunpowder, the joint-stock companies, banks that he had recently created, etc. Although Zhu Jun would not have experienced these things personally, he could not sit in Haidu himself, so he was really worried.

"Send the order to make the soldiers work harder and speed up. I will rush back to Haidu within two days."

The news that Wu Sangui was annihilated immediately appeared on the front pages of the major newspapers. The people of Haidu seemed to be numb to such triumph. Is this also called news? When was the great news that the Ming Dynasty's King's Army defeated? Whenever people talked about this headline news, they always looked as if they were both proud and deliberately disdainful. Since the establishment of Haidu, the Ming army has never tasted the feeling of defeat. Although the victory after victory did not penetrate the military, it has already made the people of Haidu dizzy.

The victory of the war also enhanced the sense of cohesion among Haidu people and also attracted businessmen. Businessmen are very sensitive to the safety of investment. In an unstable environment, no one is interested in doing business. Now Haidu is more stable, and the future of the Ming Dynasty is becoming more and more optimistic. Many overseas merchants have joined the investment ranks of the development zone. When the fifth batch of registrations were registered in the development zone, more than 700 merchants paid the amount to open workshops, of which half of the overseas merchants accounted for.

In the above, this result was not unexpected. The reason is very simple. First, most merchants who opened workshops in the development zone earned a lot of money, and second, the environment here is stable and investment is guaranteed. What's more, the soft environment in the development zone is absolutely first-class. There is no second place in Nanyang that can allow merchants to gain status and participate in politics. If the business is bigger and the court awards the title of a Justice of the Peace, it will shine.

The land in the development zone was originally divided into dozens of hectares, but now there are more and more workshops. Zhou Mubai has also begun to consider continuously expanding the scale of the development zone. In the development zone, there are a lot of factories, and there are more than 100,000 craftsmen working here every day. Therefore, some vendors have also begun to become active and set up markets in the central area of ​​the development zone to do some breakfast and accommodation business, which is specially used by workers who go to and from get off work.

Subsequently, Haidu Bank was personally organized by the Ministry of Revenue. The bank was located at the center of the development zone. It was a four-story building with a four-story building covering an area of ​​dozens of acres. The dragon flag unique to the Ming Dynasty royal family was floating on the top of the bank, which showed that this was an industry that the emperor personally participated in and was trustworthy.

Immediately after the bank recruited dozens of staff members began to enter thousands of households after short-term training for Dutch executives, promoting the benefits of the bank.

"What? Can you still generate interest when you deposit money?" Many people were full of doubts after listening to the introduction of the bank staff. Throughout the dynasties, citizens of Haidu have absolutely no belief that such a good thing is that you deposit money into a money house, and they will also charge you profits. This bank is better. If you deposit 100 taels of silver in, you can get one tael of silver every year.

"Bang!" The bank staff said nothing and threw a document in front of the citizens in a daze. This was a statement written by the emperor, and it was also stamped with a bright red seal. The address of the Ministry of Revenue was also stated in the bottom corner. If you have any questions, you can go to the Ministry of Revenue for consultation at any time.

After confirming, the citizens quickly dispelled their doubts. Since there is such a cheap thing in the world, what else can I say? Besides, this silver is originally a hard thing, and it may not be safe to exist at home. Since safety in the bank is guaranteed and profitable, it is naturally a good deal in the bank.
